Old World Charm in Minnesota......


Old World charm exudes from this second level sitting area on an equestrian estate. A beautifully crafted hand-carved button-tufted sofa was paired with embroidered pillows and fringe embellished arm chairs to create a cozy setting. In this area, the homeowner is able to display her collection of antique silver and crystal glassware for her guests. Unique and playful accessories contribute to the sense of travel captured by the custom wall covering created by overlapping antique maps done by a talented local artist.

Have Unique Architecture?

A curved staircase was the perfect place to tuck a unique bar for an expansive great room that is perfect for entertaining. Aubergine-enameled custom cabinetry was topped by green onyx countertops and layered with shining illumination from the hand-blown swirl glass pendants, antique crystal flush mount fixture and tiered glass table lamp. The abstract artwork complements the dynamic hand-forged ironwork on the staircase and vibrant colors chosen for the space.

Inspired by India!

An antique sari, zebra rug, carved marble side table and custom bedding were combined to create a soothing yet vibrant look for this Minneapolis loft master bedroom.
